Sharp, well-formed dodecahedral, also called pyritohedral, crystals are favorites among the specimens produced there. This pyrite crystal, measuring at 5.4 centimeters, features a brassy metallic luster with well defined faces with light striations. The crystal is partially complete with lightly oxidated surfaces and a small number of knicks on it's edges. An excellent representative specimen of the pyritohedral specimens from this desirable US locality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe market is notably limited in Spruce Ridge material for a good reason.

The quartz is prismatic and elongated, with an interesting curvature to some of the faces. Rather than a macro-mosaic texture along the curved faces as one would expect, the curved faces are generally smooth. A really beautiful specimen from an exclusive locality mined by a private mining collective.","brand":"Adamantine Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54463909888273,"sku":"min3236","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/2277\/3009\/files\/min3236-spruce-ridge-quartz-calcite-specimen-miniature-size_4_of_6.jpg?v=1787884831"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/2277\/3009\/collections\/min3223-pyrite-cubic-spruce-ridge-mine-metallic-gold-crystal-geometric_5_8a3020fe-466d-4411-88b5-c16d6db2e3dd.jpg?v=1788853917","url":"https:\/\/adamantineminerals.com\/collections\/spruce-ridge.oembed","provider":"Adamantine Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
